Optical Cabling

With LAN speeds now potentially exceeding 10 Gigabit, the choice of the correct fibre technology has never been more important. From an initial client meeting and site survey Smart will look at defining the correct fibre type; whether single-mode, multi-mode, OM2, OM3 or OM4 etc.

 

As well as working inside the building Smart is able to offer a complete package for external fibres including all civil works. To ensure customer confidence, all installation is fully tested and covered by a manufacturers application based 25-year warranty.

Converged IP

Data networking is no longer defined purely in voice and data terms. Ethernet and IP have become the building blocks for technologies including access control, CCTV and audio visual. With innovations occurring at such a rapid pace, it is imperative that end users work with industry experts.

 

Smart has a history of successful deployments and continues to explore the market for emerging technologies in this space.

What Is Data Cabling?

Data cabling is an important component in keeping your business operating smoothly. Whether your servers are in-house or located in a data centre, the cabling is a crucial element in ensuring fast, efficient access and business continuity.

​

Smart has years of experience working in data centres and on-premise, ensuring optimum speeds, minimising potential disruption from physical issues within buildings and planning for business continuity in the face of technical problems or physical disasters. We can help to plan and install data centre cabling to the highest standards, utilising many vendors which will warrant our installation for up to 25 years.

What’s involved in data cabling?

The key to data cabling is to work with the overall topology of your systems to meet data capacity, physical distribution, security and health and safety requirements while building in flexibility for expansion or reconfiguration.

​

We’ll use the best cable for your data capacity. We’ll make sure cable runs are carefully planned to be safely away from potential hazards. We’ll organise data centre cabling so it’s easy to identify and maintain and create dual networks where necessary. We’ll fully test any new cabling prior to installation and warranty installation. In short, we can make sure that your internal data centre enjoys the same cabling performance as a professional facility.
